Philippine Coast Guard personnel who allowed MT Princess Empress to sail without permit to operate should face charges for dereliction of duty, Senator Raffy Tulfo said Tuesday.
The lawmaker issued the remark after PCG Vice Admiral Joseph Coyme said the inspectors did not tick off the box for MT Princess Empress’ Certificate of Public Convenience in its pre-departure inspection checklist.
Should this happen again next time, Tulfo said raps should be filed against high-ranking PCG officials. Pressed to answer if PCG personnel boarded MT Princess Empress for its pre-departure inspection, Coyme responded: “This is really what we really want to forward to national headquarters to conduct administrative investigation pertaining to lapses of our personnel, if such indicates.”
Meanwhile, Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor said there was no direct assistance to affected residents from RDC Reield Marine Services. Asked if they are already distributing the procured food packs for the affected residents, Tee revealed that Pola, Oriental Mindoro Mayor Jennifer Cruz refused to get help from their company.
